Good evening
Just looking for a bit of advice/help
Just completed a build using an ASUS X870E motherboard coupled with a Ryzen 9800X3D, the case has 10 Corsair RX120 fans in total, 7 case and 3 on the AIO Titan 360 cooler, these are all connected using the Corsair icue link system within the case.
When I am within windows the fans are barely spinning, the CPU is running at about 40-45 degrees.
When I switch the machine on the fans will all spin at full speed until I get windows loaded and the icue software loads, they will then spin down to about 300 rpm.
If I leave the machine and it goes to sleep it does so quietly, however if i press the W+L key to lock the machine the fans will again speed up to full speed and will not stop until I log back in again.
I am certain it is an issue with either the board or bios as the fans will be going full speed even when I am in the bios, and you can imagine that when there are 10 of them the sound is deafening.
I have compared the bios settings with another X870E board a friend has and nothing is different.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Solved! Go to Solution.

You will need to add temperature probes to the Commander in order to setup hardware fan curves. I have come across this exact thing.
Have you adjusted the settings in 'Device Memory Mode'? (see the attached picture) I am sure this will be the solution you are looking for. Remember to save the settings to the device!
I do not run iCue. I have everything saved to the memory of the devices (Commander, AIO pump, memory, case lighting, keyboard). Every month or so I open iCue, update, and carry on. It appears it is time to update! 🤣

All 17 of my corsair fans do this when I enter the bios, so this is by design....
Signalrgb is worth a look, its what I use with my X870 crosshair hero, and corsair hardware is well supported, however you have to pay for the pro version....

I am on Crosshair X870E too and during my diging in bios I got sometimes this issue, finally I swap PWM connectors with my Ryujin III 360 pump to AIO pump header and FAN splitter to CPU header, I used before CPU and Chassis header which have shared speed (some are shared check manual) and I fixed this..... I have I also about 10 fans. So I cannot say it run fans at full speed by design.

Thank you for your reply, I was confused when setting up the iCue iLink as to which pin header on the motherboard I should plug the Tach cable into, the bios manual says to plug it in to the AIO pin header, when I do the bios boots up with an error and I have to change the setting in the bios to ignore the CPU temp.
However, Corsair say to connect this Tach cable from the iLink to the CPU pin header and not the CPU pin header.

I did get the following response from ASUS technical
"According to the error symptoms you have described, we unfortunately have to assume that you are dealing with a hardware error. Although we manufacture our products to the highest possible standards and aim for them to function well beyond normal life expectancy, at the end of the day they are highly complex technical products that unfortunately can on occasion encounter a hardware malfunction.
We are sorry that this appears to be the case with you. Since we do not offer direct service processing, we would recommend that you report your ROG STRIX X870E-E GAMING WIFI to your dealer. They will then take over the further processing for you. I understand this is inconvenient, as part of the sale process the reseller/retailer accepted that they would control all returns/replacement on behalf of ASUS for the duration of the warranty."
Sounds a bit like a cut, copy, paste response, but we'll see what the sellers say

What are you using to control the Corsair fans? iCue?
If so, have you programmed your hardware settings for the fans?

Yes I'm using the Corsair iCue software, within this software I have set all the fans to balanced and the system is fine, if I then press the Windows+L key to log off the keyboard lights (also controlled by iCue) go off and then the fans start ramping up getting faster and louder, they reach a certain (unbearable) level and will maintain this level indefinitely, when I log back in the fans will stop as soon as the iCue software kicks back in.

When you lock the PC you are entering a ‘non-software’ state and cue is not running. However, fan profiles based on coolant temperature should automatically save to device and be persistent in that state, including boot and shutdown. If you quit cue when on the desktop, do the fans also ramp up to high speed? Is it all the fans? Or the the three non-radiator fans?
The “quiet” preset is based on coolant temp, but try using the custom curve copy to force it to re-save the curve to the device. This is better anyway since you will be able to see the control points.
Go to the cooling section for the Commander Core. Press + to create a new custom curve. A graph will appear below along with 4 shape tools on the side. Select the 2nd shape from the left with the concave curve this is a copy of the quiet preset. Make sure the sensor choice says “H150i Elite Temp”. Apply this to all fans above.
You can use other control variables but most will require the software to be active in order to fetch the data from the MB. CPU temp is never a good choice. GPU temp can make sense for rear exhaust but you will have this same problem. Using a 10K temp probe from the Com Core to measure internal air temp is the best secondary source. Unfortunately the Com Core doesn’t come with one so you will need to purchase. They are inexpensive and nothing more than a 2 prong connector with a flat sensor end.

Thanks for the reply
If I quit out of the iCue software within windows the fans then ramp up to high speed, the only way I can bring them under control is to run the iCue software again, this is all the fans (the 3 on the Titan Pro 360 AIO & the 7 case fans)
I tried creating the custom curve based on the preset you suggested (quiet preset) but this is no different.
Based on what you've said, I have to assume the fan profile isn't being saved to the device (motherboard)

Thank you very much for your help, i thinkl i've got it under control now
